latest-tag | : octocat : Automatically generate & update | Continous Integration library

latest-tag is a TypeScript library typically used in Devops, Continous Integration applications. latest-tag has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Automatically creates & updates a latest tag pointing to your latest release. When using GitHub Actions you always have to put a reference for every action you use in your worflows: that means that you either need to choose a specific version or you need to use a branch. If you want to use the latest release of an action you can only hope authors are mantaining a latest tag that they update with every version: although not impossible, it's not that easy to find someone willing to do that. That's why I made this action: if you're the kind of guy that doesn't like to update tags you can simply use this action and forget about it. You can just put latest in the documentation: your users will get the benefits of using a branch as ref and the security of using only stable versions (as long as you don't make breaking changes).
